Worilds led the team with 10 tackles, he had two sacks to post a second game this season in which he had multiple sacks, and he also forced a fumble. Worilds is the Steelers Digest Player of the Week.

Another strong candidate was Le’Veon Bell, who rushed for 73 yards on 16 carries and scored a touchdown and caught seven passes for 63 more. Bell would have had a second rushing touchdown if not for a ruling where a Ravens defender knocked his helmet off to kill the play before Bell was able to fall across the goal line.

Also considered were Lawrence Timmons, who had eight tackles; Heath Miller, who caught eight passes for 86 yards; and Ben Roethlisberger, who completed 28-of-44 for 257 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, while also moving around in the pocket sufficiently to avoid being sacked by a Ravens defense that came into the game with 37 through 11 games.
